More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

North Palace.

study.

Lu Chen sat at his desk and carefully sorted out the information on the disappearance of Daxia warriors in the past month.

According to Jin Yiwei's statistics, the number of missing people has exceeded 2.

These are more than 2 fifth-grade and above warriors.

This incident shocked the major dynasties, and now some forces in Daxia have been frightened and moved to the North or other dynasties.

As the prince who oversees the country, Lu Yi had already sent many people to investigate the matter, but nothing was found. These people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Of course, the people Lu Yi sent out to investigate were not from his group. Now the situation in the capital is getting more and more dangerous. His own people have to stay in the capital or stay near the capital. If he sends his people to do other things, What to do if something happens.

The imperial court did not pay attention to this matter, which left the forces behind it completely unrestrained. They became more and more rampant, and even warriors began to disappear in the capital.

Lu Chen looked at the pieces of information on the table and speculated in his mind that maybe his father, like him, had learned a skill similar to the Dharma Absorption Technique, which is why he captured so many warriors and then absorbed their skills. ?
But having said that, even if Emperor Xia really learned the Dharma of absorbing energy, he would not be able to become a heavenly being through the Dharma of absorbing Gong.

To become a heavenly being, you must pass the test of this world. This is a hard condition. Even Lu Chen, who has a system plug-in, cannot circumvent this condition. Lu Chen does not believe that Emperor Xia can bypass the test of the world.

Of course, it is still possible to temporarily enhance a person's strength to the realm of heaven and humanity through some means.

Lu Chen thought to himself that maybe his father was worried that the Northern Kingdom would one day go south to compete for the throne, so he had prepared measures to deal with the Northern Kingdom's heavenly beings in advance?

At this time, Lu Chen's eyes fell on a piece of intelligence, which mainly talked about Jiangnan heavy cavalry.

After the Jinyiwei's investigation, it was basically confirmed that the heavy cavalry went south to transport something. However, because the Jinyiwei who investigated were only people below the fifth rank, it was difficult to find out what the heavy cavalry was transporting.

Not to mention that Jinyiwei didn't know, no one in the court even knew why the heavy cavalry went south. People only knew that this was an order from Emperor Xia. As for why Emperor Xia gave such an order, I'm afraid only Emperor Xia himself could tell. Know.

However, there have been a lot of rumors in Daxia recently. Some people said that Emperor Xia discovered an island on the sea. There were immortals living on the island, and the heavy cavalry was actually transporting elixirs.

As long as Emperor Xia takes the elixir, his body may recover.

This rumor made the princes more restless. If Emperor Xia's body recovered, it would be more difficult for them to win the throne.

They finally waited until Emperor Xia was about to die, but at this time it was reported that Emperor Xia could be saved, which made them not anxious.

Lu Chen put down the information in his hands at this time, raised his hands, and rubbed his temples.

Nowadays, the fifth-grade and above warriors in Daxia are too dangerous, which has restricted the movement of Jin Yiwei. It is not an easy task to investigate whether the disappearance of those warriors has anything to do with Emperor Xia.

However, Lu Chen had a vague feeling. He felt that the large number of missing warriors was probably related to the item that Emperor Xia had ordered the heavy cavalry to transport back to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River.

Because these two things happened to collide, this has to make people suspicious, but he has no concrete evidence, and everything is just speculation at the moment.

At this time, he said to himself: "Forget it, no matter what he is doing, as soon as Yaoyao and Nan Yan's child is born, I will lead the troops south immediately."

Lu Chen thought that after Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao's child was born, the system would most likely reward him with some troops and strong men. With more soldiers and strong men, he would be more confident about going south.

"Your Majesty, Commander Liang wants to see you!"

After hearing the maid's voice, Lu Chen came back to his senses and said, "Come in."

Liang Zong immediately entered the study. Before Liang Zong could salute, Lu Chen asked, "Is there any news from the capital?"

Liang Zong replied: "Back to your lord, our people still haven't found out what the heavy cavalry was escorting. My subordinates brought other news today."

Lu Chen asked: "What's the news?"

Liang Zong put the note in his hand on Lu Chen's table. When he saw it was a note, Lu Chen knew that it was a letter from Fei Ge. It seemed that it should be particularly urgent information. Lu Chen immediately picked up the note and scanned it. Take a look.

Lu Chen frowned when he saw the content above.

Two nights ago, Emperor Xia was poisoned and assassinated, but the assassin failed. After a final investigation, a total of more than 100 people were found to be directly related to the incident. In the end, all the evidence pointed to the Lin family.

Now everyone in the Lin family is under house arrest, and no one is allowed to leave the Lin family. Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Xiuming have been taken to the sky jail, waiting for interrogation.

This incident only happened two nights ago. In less than a day, everyone involved in the incident was found. This was too fast.

The key is that the man behind the scenes is actually Lin Gaoyuan?
This seems to be a frame-up.

Lin Gaoyuan had defected to the North Kingdom a long time ago. Since the prince came to supervise the country, he has kept a low profile in the court. How could he get involved in such a thing.

Obviously someone thinks that the Lin family is an obstacle, so they want to get rid of the entire Lin family.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, wondering who was most likely to push this incident to happen, the prince?Or another prince?
But there is a high probability that he is still the prince.

Lin Gaoyuan has not yet made his position clear. For the prince, Lin Gaoyuan is still from Emperor Xia's side. Since Emperor Xia became ill, apart from the Imperial Master and the people around Emperor Xia, there are only Lin Gaoyuan and Zhao Wenhan. The two prime ministers were able to see Emperor Xia.

Zhao Wenhan has clearly turned to the prince. For the prince, Lin Gaoyuan is his biggest threat in the court, so he just took this opportunity to get rid of Lin Gaoyuan together.

In this way, apart from the Imperial Master, only Zhao Wenhan could see Emperor Xia, which prepared them in advance for what they might do in the future.

For example, falsely conveying imperial edicts, or changing posthumous edicts.

Liang Zong asked at this time: "Your Majesty, do we need to save the Lin family?"

Liang Zong is the commander of the Jin Yiwei. He is the person who has access to the core information, so he knows very well that Lin Gaoyuan is from the North King. Now that Lin Gaoyuan is in jail, the Jin Yiwei should probably take action.

Lu Chen thought for a while and then said: "No need for the time being, my father cannot see Lin Gaoyuan being eliminated, but if their lives are in danger, the Jin Yiwei will find a way to take the Lin family out of the capital." Emperor Xia is not Fool, Lin Gaoyuan is a minister without a position. As long as Lin Gaoyuan does not side with any prince, then Lin Gaoyuan will be Emperor Xia's man.

Now that the prince wants to get rid of his people, how could Emperor Xia agree? Therefore, Emperor Xia will most likely come forward to save the Lin family. Emperor Xia is just pretending to be ill and is not really dead.

Liang Zong said: "I understand."

"If there is nothing else, I will leave."

"Okay, go and do your work."

……

a few days later.

Daxia Dynasty, capital, Tianlao.

Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Xiuming were locked up in cells next to each other. Although they were locked up, the jailers were very polite to them and did not dare to do anything to them.

Lin Xiuming sat cross-legged on the ground and asked, "Dad, what should we do now?"

Lin Gaoyuan lay on the bed, closed his eyes and said lightly: "Keep waiting."

Seeing that Lin Gaoyuan didn't look anxious at all, Lin Xiuming said in confusion: "Dad, it's already this time, why are you not anxious at all? The crime of assassinating the emperor will definitely be punished by the nine tribes."

Lin Gaoyuan laughed and said: "What's the use of being anxious now? Do you still want to escape from prison? If you really escape from prison, I'm afraid the charges against our Lin family will be confirmed directly."

Hearing Lin Gaoyuan's words, Lin Xiuming was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

At this time, he clenched his fist and punched the ground. A crater was instantly made on the ground.

Lin Xiuming was very unwilling. The Lin family did nothing, but in the end they were labeled as regicide.

Is it possible that they can only wait to die in the prison now?
Seeing that his son was so impetuous, Lin Gaoyuan said directly: "Xiu Ming, you don't really think that you can destroy our Lin family with just that little evidence, do you?"

Hearing his father's words, Lin Xiuming was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Dad, that is the crime of regicide, and so much evidence was found in our house. Isn't that evidence enough to convict us? "

Lin Gaoyuan sneered and said: "Your Majesty will not believe their frame-up methods."

Lin Xiuming said: "But now your Majesty..."

Lin Xiuming did not continue. He wanted to say that Emperor Xia was almost dead, so the Lin family could still be taken care of. The next person who would judge them would most likely be the prince. The prince probably had no intention of keeping the Lin family at all.

Lin Gaoyuan said: "Dad, I know what you want to say, but I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think. Didn't you find that Daxia's heavy cavalry went to Jiangnan?"

"Don't you think about whose hands the heavy cavalry is now."

Lin Gaoyuan actually thought that Emperor Xia might have gone crazy at first, but he didn't think that Emperor Xia was going to die so soon.

When he learned that Emperor Xia had mobilized heavy cavalry, he became more convinced of his guess. Emperor Xia was probably fine at all, but was plotting something.

So even if the Lin family is framed, Lin Gaoyuan is not panic at all. He is one of the few ministers who has not yet taken sides. He does not belong to any prince's faction now. He is a member of Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia cannot look at the Lin family. Get rid of by the prince.

Next, something happened to the prince's faction. They poisoned Emperor Xia and tried to seek power and usurp the throne. Lu Yi, the prince, was finally done.

At this moment, the sound of chains jingling was heard not far away.

Realizing that someone else had come in, Lin Gaoyuan stopped talking.

The next moment, familiar figures appeared in front of Lin Gaoyuan and his son.

Zhao Wenhan was wearing a prison uniform, and his whole body, feet and hands were all shackled.

Seeing this scene, Lin Gaoyuan laughed loudly, and then said: "Master Zhao, why did you come in to accompany me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Wenhan glared at Lin Gaoyuan fiercely, and then Zhao Wenhan sneered and said: "Lin, don't be too proud. King Bei has already sided with the prince. Even if you go out now , you will come in sooner or later!"

At this moment, the cell leader came to the door of the cell where Lin Gaoyuan was imprisoned, opened the door, nodded and bowed to Lin Gaoyuan and said: "Prime Minister Lin, the matter has been cleared up, you can go out."

Lin Gaoyuan got up from the bed without hesitation and walked out directly. After he walked to the corridor, he said to Zhao Wenhan: "Master Zhao, dragons have reverse scales, and you will die if you touch them. You have followed His Majesty for decades. Could it be that this Don’t you understand the truth?”

"After you come in this time, if you want to go out again, I'm afraid you will go to the execution ground."

After saying this, Lin Gaoyuan walked directly outside, ignoring Zhao Wenhan's curses.

In the next few days, the Lin family was rehabilitated, and Lin Gaoyuan returned to the court. However, the people of the prince's group died and were arrested.

Although Lu Yi's crown prince has not been deposed and he is still in charge of the country, Lu Yi already has a very strong sense of crisis.

If the rumors are true and there really is a so-called elixir, then if he continues to wait, his father will definitely return to the court, and he, the prince, will definitely be deposed!

no!He can no longer sit still and wait for death!

He was going to get to that position no matter what!
In the next month, Lu Yi tried his best to get close to the royal family's grand master while trying to win over Situ Ce, and then won over some military generals.

In order not to end up like the eighth prince, Lu Yi also contacted Lu Chen in advance. Once he failed, he would flee to the North Kingdom.

Finally, after Lu Yi felt that everything was ready, one night he rushed directly into the palace with his troops.
